helm-charts VS traefik-helm-chart

Examples: Netlify has an entire Integrations Engineering team. Currently it just works on Next.js integrations, but it could also own, for example, the VS Code extension. In the past I helped build out Netlify Dev and react-netlify-identity as part of this function. Popular quick start tooling like Docker Compose and Helm Charts also fall under this function.

Even though the migration was prototyped with a self hosted cluster of Temporal (using our Kubernetes helm chart), they decided to sign up for Temporal Cloud as an early design partner. As a small startup, they didn't want to manage Temporal themselves. "We migrated progressively using feature flags, and verified performance as we went, but we had confidence in the Temporal team so we didn't stress about load testing."

helm chart Traefik Ingress

For an example, consider the NGINX Ingress Controller Helm Chart and the Traefik Ingress Controller Helm Chart. Both of these charts install an IngressController but they have their own set of features, configuration, and operation. While they do similar things, they are not the same. Rather than having to pull a bunch of yaml files from a github repo, you can execute a helm install after telling helm where the definition of the charts comes from for a given application. Helm will then go and fetch all the manifests contained in the chart and populate values into the manifest from its defined defaults merged with any values that you specify as an override (or option). If another version of the application comes out, rather than having to update everything, you can just run helm upgrade to update the release to a newer chart version (which may update the internal application code). If the chart version didn't change, but you need a newer release version, a lot of times this is handled by a version variable that you can specify. You just update that (either on the command line or in a values file) and run helm upgrade to change the manifests that get pushed and automatically your deployments will get updated.

Traefik was deployed using Traefik's chart (https://github.com/traefik/traefik-helm-chart). Reading the default values.yaml file, I understand that the Prometheus metrics endpoint is enabled by default. I can confirm that I see the metrics when I access the pod on port 9100/metrics/.

A thousand times, yes. I've wanted to write this same article. Thanks for saving me the time!

The industry is going to great lengths to avoid writing configuration in any ubiquitous imperative programming language. We're seeing the proliferation of hyper-specialized, clunky declarative languages with sub-par tooling and package ecosystems. In what world are templates acceptable code? I don't mean to pick on anything specific, but this[0] is the most recent example I've come across, and it's far from the most unreadable examples.

I have Traefik 2 as my ingress controller acting as the reverse proxy, deployed via Helm. I am using the Bitnami Helm chart to deploy wordpress.

You can then use helm to remove the old traefik deployment and install from wherever you'd prefer. I used the official traefik helm. I made sure that I copied the values from /var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/manifests/traefik.yaml to my values file (retrieved from https://github.com/traefik/traefik-helm-chart/blob/master/traefik/values.yaml). Here I also added the helm operator ports.web.redirectTo: websecure (per u/soundwave_rk).

Traefik Helm chart has 402 stars, but the problem here is that 100 people can use it and they don't add stars since they don't log in to GitHub for it. I don't star Debian packages either.

I installed Traefik by helm. You'll need to install helm on the machine you're running kubectl on, then you can follow their instructions at https://github.com/traefik/traefik-helm-chart to install.
